Chapter 253 Where to go
Sometime after listening to it, Lu nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Lin's words are reasonable! According to the current official situation in Fujian, Xiong Wencan can only use this method!"
Yu Xiaotian nodded after listening and said, "That's right! I also think so. It's not good to beat him, so there is only one way to comfort him!"
After listening to their words, Liu Laoliu's eyebrows jumped a few times, showing a trace of joy. He quickly asked Xiaotian, "If so, what do you plan to do?"
Yu Xiaotian looked at Liu Laoliu and found that Liu Laoliu's face seemed to have an eager look, and he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous secretly.
Although Liu Laoliu has been following him for so long, Liu Laoliu's status in the sea wolf can almost be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people, and is definitely a person with a superior status.
But even so, when I heard that the government might recruit him, I couldn't help but have an eager idea.
No matter who is in this era, they are subtly influenced by the thought of a loyal monarch. Even the pirates who fight against the imperial government will be used to thinking that this world should be the world with his surname Zhu.
Including Liu Laoliu, I'm afraid that although many people are doing quite well under him at present, there is still a trace of desire to be an official in their hearts.
Of course, Liu Laoliu will definitely not think about becoming an official anymore. Even if the court recruits him, it is also aimed at Yu Xiaotian, and will not easily target the people under Yu Xiaotian.
The reason why Liu Laoliu showed such enthusiasm is that he is still planning for Yu Xiaotian. Anyway, no matter how strong the sea wolf is, these people are still carrying a thief's body. If Xiong Wencan wants to take care of Xiaotian this time, then in the current situation, Yu Xiaotian occupies a large number of time, place and people. Once he accepts the appointment, it is estimated that at least Xiong Wencan will offer a quite good price for Yu Xiaotian.
For Liu Laoliu, they used to be people living at the bottom of society. Even if they were a thousand households, they were absolutely superior to them. As for the county magistrates, I'm afraid they are the biggest officials they can meet.
If they hadn't followed Yu Xiaotian and fought such a world, they would not have seen a bigger official than Zhixian in their life.
But now I heard from Yu Xiaotian saying that the government wanted to recruit them, and Liu Laoliu was immediately moved. As long as Yu Xiaotian accepted the recruitment, his family will be an official in the future.
Although during this period, the government they fought didn't even dare to fart. They even killed one of the vice generals of the economy, and the general guerrilla General Qian even killed a lot.
However, when Liu Laoliu realized that he could not be an official. Even if he was a thousand households of a guard, he was at least a five-grade military officer. Although the rank of a general was not as valuable as a civilian official, he was also a serious five-grade official! He didn't even dare to think about it before.
According to Xu Xinsu, last year, in order to continue to work, Xu Xinsu had to spend money in Yu Zhigao's hands and bought an official name. She spent tens of thousands of taels of silver. In the end, she just got a general position.
Now if Xiong Wencan wants to calm down and settle with Xiaotian after coming, at least he has to offer a higher price, Mr. Qian? It seems a little low! Then it should be at least a guard!
If it is guarded, it will be a fifth-grade military officer. If Xiong Wencan can give a price for the capital, it will be a fourth-grade general. If his family can produce a fourth-grade military officer, this ancestral grave can also be regarded as smoke!
Yu Xiaotian curled his lips and despised Liu Laoliu a little. His requirements were too low! If it were before, if Xiong Wencan had given him a guerrilla or defensive official position, if he remembered correctly, when Zheng Zhilong was touched by Xiong Wencan in history, he should have given him a position of coastal defense guerrilla. This guerrilla general is at least a third-grade general, and his current strength is It is much stronger than when Zheng Zhilong was touched in history.
At least when Zheng Zhilong was touched, there were also a group of cattle people in the coastal area of Fujian, such as Chu Cai Lao, Zhong Bin and Liu Laoxiang. Zheng Zhilong just controlled Weitou Bay. During this period, because of Zhong Bin's betrayal, he almost pulled Zheng Zhilong away. At that time, Zheng Zhilong's men only had 20 or 30 boats left. No There are only two or three hundred people.
Xiong Wencan can also give him a guerrilla price. If it were himself, there would be no general, which simply disgusted him!
"Presumably, the lord will come to the humble officials and say this, just want to talk about the recruitment of the government!" Lin Yiyang did not look at Liu Laoliu's expression and asked Xiaotian indifferently.
Yu Xiaotian nodded: "Not bad! If my prediction is good, I'm afraid the first thing to do after Xiong Wencan comes to Fujian to take office this time is to find a way to comfort me!
I asked you to come here today. In fact, I just want to hear your opinions. If the government recruits me, what should we do? This matter is very involved and related to our future trend! Think about it carefully and then tell us what you think!"
Lin Yiyang and Lu sometimes and several other staff immediately began to bow their heads and think about it. These people are currently Yu Xiaotian's think tank. Although they are not clear about the direction of history, they are also relatively clear people. At least consider the details, they may be more than Yu Xiaotian. More carefully.
Yu Xiaotian's ability to control major events, no one among the sea wolves can beat him, because he knows the future direction of the Ming Dynasty better than anyone else, so he can grasp the pulse of history, but in some small things, after all, he is not born in this era, and he is not good at dealing with many things. He even often makes some jokes, so he naturally needs some people to help him when he is doing things. Lin Yiyang obviously want to play a role in picking up his shortcomings.
Today, he threw this matter out to hear the opinions of these people, because this matter will directly affect the future development of his sea wolf. If it is not handled well, it is likely to have a negative impact on their future development.
Of course, Yu Xiaotian is not concerned about the official position that Xiong Wencan may give him in the future, and what he value is the deep strength behind the official.
Now, on the surface, his sea wolf crosses the coast of Fujian and can even reach further. At present, there are almost few opponents, and his strength has expanded to a considerable extent.
However, these phenomena are only superficial phenomena. Yu Xiaotian is very clear that with the resources in his current hands, compared with the giant Daming, it is nothing at all, and even the strength of the Jiannu who is now in Liaodong is far different.
After all, after more than 200 years of development since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a huge amount of resources have been accumulated. Everyone regards the Ming Dynasty's Zhu family as orthodox and controls nearly 200 million people, at least more than 150 million people, not to mention the wealth accumulated by Daming. It's enough to scare people to death.
At present, although the sea wolf seems to be quite arrogant, Yu Xiaotian is very clear that the population he actually controls is only 200,000,300, and the population structure of 200,000 or 300,000 is still very problematic, among which the number of men far exceeds that of women, although the population structure is relatively young. There are not many elderly people, but there are still many underage children.
In fact, less than half of the available labor he controlled, and at best only about 100,000 to 1230,000 people. Compared with Daming, this number is really as weak as an ant in front of Daming.
As for the territory! At present, he only controls Taiwan Island, but at best, it is only two places of chicken cages and freshwater. At present, he has added a dog port that has just begun to develop. He has not set foot in other places. It is still the territory of local indigenous territory, plus several large islands along the coast of Fujian, let alone compared with Daming. .
Although there are not many people, territory and resources under Yu Xiaotian's current control, Yu Xiaotian is not worried that he will be destroyed by Daming. Even if Daming is now concentrating several provinces to find trouble for him, he is still not afraid of Daming.
But if you do this, Yu Xiaotian is facing a rather thorny problem, that is, the problem of his financial resources. The sea wolf can indeed be said to be fighting for gold every day, or even more. It won't take long to be regarded as a rich country, but this rich country also depends on who it compares with. If it's Mingbi, it's really nothing.
More importantly, the sea wolf's economy is not a perfect economy. To some extent, his sea wolf economy is actually just a parasite on the huge body of Daming.
It can be said that all the financial resources of the sea wolf, including most of the resources needed, are currently obtained from the land of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the most important copper and iron, coal, as well as various goods trade with the sea, and even the population, must be obtained from the land.
After losing the supply and population of goods and population on the land of Daming, no matter how strong the sea wolf is at present, it is just a rootless duckweed. Death is only a matter of time.
In Xiaotian's heart, he was not interested in the court's recruitment, but he had to look at this problem from another perspective.
A few years ago, Cai Shanji actually threw this trick to him, but Yu Xiaotian did not accept him at all, because in Xiaotian's opinion, Cai Shanji's weight was not enough to talk to him about this, because Cai Shanji was only temporarily on behalf of Zhu Yifeng, but he was not the governor of Fujian.
He also secretly learned that Cai Shanji actually tried to compete for the position of governor of Fujian, but with his understanding of history, it was not Cai Shanji's turn to be the governor when Zhu Yifeng came down this time. If it was not unexpected, Xiong Wencan should become his successor.
So even if he talks about touching, he will not talk about it with Cai Shanji, but will only talk about it with the new Fujian governor.
